that'd cost too much to get a new motherboard capable of triple sli and a bigger psu. If I win I'll share the wealth with some of my fellow vets who weren't as lucky to live in the area and get an invite.

I don't have a mobo that would support triple, but my PSU sure does. Corsair 1200 watt gold rated modular.

I got an HX850 for my two 780 ACXs - get more than 100fps on average anyways, don't need a third one I'd say!

Not if you get a triple 2560x1440 monitor setup. XD

Desk won't fit more than one monitor, room won't fit bigger desk. Playing on an Asus VG278E 144hz monitor - silky smooth.

I really should have booked a few weeks ago. The price of flights and rooms (if you can find them) have gone up incredibly.



Cheers.

"Invite YES" ... rsvp'd

"By replying to this email with the words 'Attend YES' in the body of your email response..."

Hope you didn't really reply with "Invite YES" in case it was some sort of auto sorter

This is going to be a blast. Can't wait!

I'm curious, and I just have to ask:

Did anyone openly and frequently critical of PGI's stance on things actually get invited to this thing?

[DocBach]

I'm frequently and openly critical of PGI's stance on certain issues - but I think I'm pretty fair with it, when they do things that I like and approve, I make sure to vocalize that as well.

I got an invite.

[Thumper3]

So much entitlement, wow. "Why didn't they take ME into account and throw the party in MY town...wah"

Well, maybe because no matter where they throw it, lots of people are too far away. CA too far from Florida? Guess what, Florida is too far from CA. St Louis is too far from both. It's ONE event, how hard is it to comprehend that not everyone can make it? LOL I am at a loss to ANY other game designer or manufacture that has launched a game or anything in multiple locations at once. Sure, maybe a BIG developer with LOTS of employees and capitol base might do a US and Europe launch. But, they still can't win. Is it easier for a German to get to London for a UK launch than it is for an American in Iowa to get to Seattle?

Where's the anger and hate for the arrogance and planning of having E3 in a single location? Whey aren't there 100 E3s for every state and main continent?? WHY!?!?!?

Oh, reality.....yeah, reality sucks. Oh well.


Got my invite, I am 2 hours from SF, took TWO days off work cause if I am taking Thursday off I might as well take Friday and make it a weekend with purpose.

Should we get a confirmation email? I replied as instructed but haven't got a confirmation that it went through. LOL Hate to have it lost in a filter somewhere and miss out.

Well, if you take a look at the most intense and irrational voices of indignation, a very curious picture emerges, where a good number are CL/SA/Chan representatives with appropriate post histories, or anonymous accounts of recent vintage and low post count. And if you look at the other threads these guys are posting in, you'll notice such as the one about 'Phoenix project goal updates', where they seem out of sorts over the counter being updated manually, instead of being automatic. A bit of digging reveals that these guys had the bright idea to organize a buy-in for Phoenix pack, with intent to mass-chargeback and embarrass PGI, which appears to be their goal in pretty much everything they are doing, in an amusingly organized sort of way.. tl;dr, goons & 4chan are out to see the game fail theough everything from generating it negative publicity, enciting outpourings of frustration to that end, ostracizing and marginalising any community nodes that treat PGI constructively (seen here with NGNG) all the way to doing stuff like ddos'ing the servers back in the day (when internet tough guys get aspirations of Internet terrists!)

of course it's not like the rest of the player base is entirely unaware of this stuff..

Thanks, good to know.

I did, still don't know if I am going to go, though. Long flight out and back from the East Coast to Cali., and to be honest I just don't know if it would be worth the trip.

[Corwin Vickers]

It's like 2 blocks from my office. I could even go into work in the morning and walk to Mez. If they had picked Friday we could have gone to Off the Grid.
